But a spokesman for the Canadian Cable Television Association said the technique was highly successful. Bill Allen said 75 to 80 per cent of customers took the new service and the campaign will likely be repeated. COME FLY WITH US! Join the Castlegar No. 581 Air Cadets.

POWER 365-6264 And home builders in Ontario, the country’s strongest provincial economy, reported the second highest rates of expected decline in sales to fir. st-time buyers and customers moving up to larger, more elaborate homes — 56 per cent and $4 per cent respec- tively. Only respondents in the Attantic provinces said they expect a higher rate of decline among first-time purchasers ~ 64 per cent. The Atlantic had a 54- per-cent rate for move-up buyers. Lampert said the figures reflect consumer nervousness about high in- terest rates, still at a five-year high. The survey also indicated that significantly more builders in all regions think house prices will con- tinue to rise in the next 12 months. On- tario still tops the: national list for average new-home price at $200,000, followed closely by British Columbia with $175,000. ._ The natfonalhverage is$1 30,000. But Alberta builders’ reported the likelihood of higher prices in the greatest numbers — over 90 per cent. The Royal Bank of Canada, in a forecast released Wednesday, said the western provinces will lead the regions in economic growth next year. It said greater diversification and the strength of natural gas sales will help the Alber- taeconomy. “The majority of respondents in both — Ontario and British Columbia are also looking to higher prices. “*Builders across Canada rank a shortage of serviced land and rising land costs as the two most pressing problems they will face in the next 12 months.”” The economic strength of the two westernmost provinces may also be showing up in survey figures indicating those builders are constructing more custom-built homes, at 39 per cent for Alberta affal 51 per cent in B.C. slowed in recent months, The Royal Bank analysis said the downturn will continue next year with sales dropping ‘by just over seven per cent as falling housing starts more than offset continued growth in renovation expenditures.” It forecasts housing starts at 209,000 this year, an increase of only 1.7 per cent over starts in 1988 which saw a 4.6-per-cent increase from the previous year. Starts next year will fall to 195,000, a 7.3-per-cent decline Plant considers recycling addition EDMONTON (CP) — Alberta Newspring is considering a $50-milfion recycling addition to its Whitecourt ‘growing opposition to newspaper waste. Industry officials say Alberta's fledgling pulp-mill industry will feel the shock of declining demand for unrecycled paper products. ““We are concerned about it,"’ Neil Desaulniers, vice-president of Alberta Newsprint, said. ‘*We're looking at the ramifications.” The $375-million newspring mill, Alberta’s first, will open as planned next August and eventually produce 496,000 tonnes of paper annually, D said.

We think there might be something that could be done to faciliate collection of used newsprint, but we're at \an early stage.” Among the problems is a limited supply of newsprint, he said AIR CONDITIONED -BAR- ) DINING LOUNGE OPEN 4 P.M.
